The Greek philosopher Plato first mentioned Atlantis as an island that once
existed.
He stated this island was a naval power that had conquered parts of Western
Europe and Africa. Some 9,000 years before Plato’s time a natural disaster
caused Atlantis to sink into the sea.

It is thought to have been
located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and America.

Throughout the centuries the
theory of Atlantis was mostly rejected, and often parodied. During the Middle
Ages the theory was forgotten, but it was rediscovered in modern times. Some
philosophers think that Atlantis existed, and its peoples were highly culturally
developed. They were even named predecessors of the modern Aryan race by some.
It was thought they possessed aircraft and ships powered by some form of energy
crystal.

Modern theory sometimes states
that some modern Islands are parts of Atlantis that rose from the ocean
